Tell me not about success, I’ve heard it all,
From people who can’t seem to stop
Talking about themselves.
Instead, tell me, tell me how hard it is
To get up each morning,
Still you manage to do so, every single day.

Tell me, tell me about that courage you muster
Each time you stand in front of the mirror,
Though you know that time and time again,
You see a stranger staring back at you.

No, don’t tell me how you’ve perfectly hidden
Those dark circles around your eyes.
Instead, tell me...
